WASHINGTON DC WEDDING FILMMAKER

DEREK LAMAR STUDIOS

Originally from Jackson, Ms, my career has taken me to many places all over the world including South America, Europe, the Middle East, and even Israel. As a wedding filmmaker, my approach as a cinematic storyteller is to capture the unique narrative of love and celebration. By building a connection with the couple, I tailor their wedding film to reflect their authentic journey. Through artistic composition, natural lighting, and attention to detail, I create visually stunning sequences that evoke emotions. Sound and music play a vital role in enhancing the storytelling experience. My goal is to deliver a film that preserves memories and evokes an emotional connection, allowing couples to relive their special day. Featured in Munaluchi Bride, Black Bride Magazine, & more
